- A standing vessel with four sides, two of them meeting to a sharp point on the one side. The bottom is square in shape and the upper portion of the vessel curve up.
- Subject Matter
- Kohyama’s Wind was made using piano wires to cut sharp angles. The shiny
- surface is the result of natural ash, which floats and attaches to the clay
- body of the vessel when it is fired in a single-chamber, wood-fired kiln. This
- piece is one of many works of the same title, said to be inspired by the harsh
- landscape of Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico that Kohyama saw in the 1990s.
